<p>The above is the link to the official news release. This is not an April Fool's prnak.</p>

<p>ETS recognized the access issues that fixed dates would cause absent the hoped for expansion in testing capacity; students should have no trouble scheduling a seat for testing.</p>

<p>Personally, I think ETS is to be commended for this; it is hard for a large organization to stop a major initiative in mid-stride.</p>

<p>Make sure your students and if you're a student, your associates are aware of this. It should remove some pressure folks were feeling regarding access and content changes.</p>
